CAMP ECHOES

The old flags will be here
Capt Thomas and his family this week
at the Rink.
Gen. Jones and the boys from Pike will
be at the Reunion.
The Thirty-Sixth should hold their Re
unions at Jackson after this.
With fine weather the 22d and 23d will
be two days of rare enjoyment.
The 3Oth Ohio boys will try to Reune
with us here on the 22d and 23d.
The Scamp Fire" talkss alone will be
worth coming long distance to hear.
E. S. Wilson, Of the 91st, has been visit
iting the battle field of Lynchburg, Va.
The entertainments at the Rink this
week are for the benefit of the G. A. r.
The Reunion grounds will not be per-
fectly splendid place for skittish horses.
1t will be great social time here on
the 22d and 23d. Your friends will all be
here.
To many man the crack of the twelve
pound Napoleons will tell the old, old
story"
Make your arrangements to come to
Jackson on the 22d and 23d, above all
other times.
The California Post has fine circular
swing used for the Posts benefit, at pub
lie gatherings.
There will perhaps be two sections of
artillery, from the Marietta battery, here
at the Reunion.
Let every visiting Post or Camp hav-
ing sheepskin band be certain to bring
it to the Reunion.
The SD and DIST Regiments ought to
turn out in great force. They will see all
their friends here.
The badge-makers will be here. Every
soldier should label himself, and find his
comrades thereby.
By the way why couldn't we have the
Berlin Red Coats here. 1t would revive
the old war spirit.
Matt. Lyons will be here. He has i'm
proved his "Pittsburg Landing" song.
Make him sing it.
Parties from Jackson have examined
the big tent, in Cincinnati, and pronounc-
ed it suitable one.
Boys, if you stay up little after ten
u0n'n NOT hauo tn taRn a wolf with q
barrel for an overcoat.
If you want to know who is here, you
must take the Reunion Standard or wait
for the regular edition.
We challenge any Camp to produce
finer looking lot of s. V. boys than At
kinson Camp, Jackson.
Harbarger has not yet heard from Son
tag, and it is not certain that the French
Contingent will be here.
AS to sham battle, it is not settled as
yet. But there will be pleanty of noise.
You may depend upon it.
Comrade Robert Lynch is doing well,
considering his weak condition when he
attempted to take his life.
Oak Hill was quite military center
during the war, being on the line between
Gallipolis and Railroad points.
One thing will be missed at the great
camp-the philanthropic sutler who sells
dog-leg cigars at a quarter apiece.
There will be great jam here on the
22d and 23d, and the nervous old ladies
should keep away from the 12-pounders.
A friend asks if the Gallipolis Squirrel
Hunters will be be recognized at the Re
union. Yes-but they weren't at CALI
polls.
The Committee will not be able to hire
any number of Brass Bands, but all that
come will doubtless be looked after while
here.
There should be some "pup-tents." AS
a picture of dignifed misery, couple of
men in a "pup-tent," exceed every other
vision.
We'd like to see circus pitch its tent
alongside the Third Ohio, once. When
the Third moved the biggest end of the
show would move.
1t makes no difference what side of
town the show or Reunion shall be To-
Gated upon, there will be an immense
crowd in town all day.
In the Reunion Camp, you may get
some idea of the holiday life of the SOL
dier-but the reality can only be under
stood when experienced.
The different Regimental organizations
should not forget to make arrangements
for keeping a Register of visiting Com
rades These should be published.
Most kinds of camp-features will be
here in September. The familiar picture
Of stalwart soldier doing his washing
in the army style, however, will be miss
ing.
Parties who have spare rooms, or those
that can be spared during the Reunion,
either with or without table board, should
notify the Committee on Hotel Accom-
modations.
The Fifty-Third boys will have good
time-but where is Capt. Percy? Where
is Capt. Messenger? Where is old Frank
Smith? Where is score of other we'll
known members.
There will be big tent for speaking,
singing, and so on. There will also be
plenty of room for young people to talk
soft things as they divide their cake of
wax. Everybody will be happy.
